Reflection On Health And Wellness

Compare the role of two complementary therapies with those of more orthodox treatments – M2

At a client’s house I made homemade mince and potatoes, with all the peeling from the carrots and potatoes and put them into the kitchen bin them emptied the kitchen bin into the outside bin.

One of the issues raised in the book is Health and Wellness. According to the book, “The typical American now consumes approximately three hamburgers and four orders of french fries every week.” This shows that Americans do not take care of their health and is always overloaded with fast food for meals. In addition, even in school, students are exposed to message that draws them to food with little or no nutritional value. This emphasizes that students have minimal knowledge about healthy lifestyle and thus lead to a statistic I had found: “In 2007, 60 million Americans, 20 years and older are obese, 9 million children and teens ages 6-19 are overweight”. It is definitely unavoidable that there is a small group of people who is obese in Singapore

Life expectancy in the United States is below most of the developed world and yet Americans pay the most for healthcare (CIA). The reason that Americans are so low on the list is their dependency on conventional medicine. Whereas other countries take a holistic approach to overall health and wellness, preventing diseases before they become a problem, the American system of medicine treats illnesses and the symptoms without preventing further damage. The result is an entire society dependent on drugs and surgery and constantly living in pain.

In order to develop a wellness program there are several things that should be taken into consideration. First, you must develop your own personal perception of what you feel wellness is and how to stay well. Secondly, you must know what the pros and cons are for being fit. Then finally you must set immediate goals to obtain your level of wellness. The main thing you need to keep in mind is that developing a healthy life style early in life is a key factor in preventing diseases and improving one quality of life.

In this specific setting therapeutic use of self is a key to treat the patients and reach their individual goals, the knowledge acquired goes hand to hand with the therapist characteristics as a person, the empathy, respect, sensitivity, and personality in general has to be beneficial for the patients and appropriate for the specific environment, knowing how to behave and how to apply this personal characteristics to therapy leads to extraordinary outcomes which benefits the patients and makes them build a stronger trust with the therapist (Early, 2009).

What if as a society we began to focus more on preventing chronic disease rather than treating them after onset? This is the question that has driven my interest in public health. I began my undergraduate career as a Viticulture and Enology major. I loved the idea of spending my days in a vineyard, nurturing grapes to maturity and then creating a final product that was entirely different from its humble beginning. It wasn’t until I was working in a lab at a winery that I realized winemaking was not for me. Although I loved the science involved, the career did not align with my social and environmental values. I was passionate about health and wellness, so the social issues of making a product that is abused by millions of people worldwide was not something I could live with. I began feverishly researching careers that would align with my interests in science and helping people. There are many ways to help people so I forced myself to think critically about what was important to me and what ways I wanted to make a difference. Deep down, I knew my biggest desire was to help as many people as possible rather than treating individuals on a case-by-case basis. Once I was able to answer that question, It became abundantly apparent that Public Health was the field I needed to pursue. My first true introduction to Public Health came in an Epidemiology class I took my junior year at Portland State University. In taking this class, it became apparent to me that chronic diseases are

In this reading, some key points I learned about and had no knowledge of prior to reading this was the vast amount of different sociological perspectives (medical sociology) on illness, health and healthcare. There are so many different theories that can be used to explain parts of history and concepts like feminism, post modernism, social classes and even different structural levels. However, I will admit that some of the concepts were confusing to understand as this dives deeper into the political history of health and health care which I have no prior background knowledge of. However, my takeaway from this reading is that by using a sociological perspective to analyse both health care and health, we should not attempt to use the macro or

Contemporary health is about a person’s physical, mental, and social health, which includes disease prevention, human development, mental illness, fatigue, weight management, and other concerns that one might have and how it plays into society (Sterling, 2017). After taking this class, I am for certain that I have a better understanding of how much work and dedication it takes to promote a healthier lifestyle.

Mr. Steinhoff was alert and engaged in the discussion today, made appropriate eye contact and was able to sit for a short period during the interview; typically, he stands for the entire appointment as he finds this position the least uncomfortable. Since his last appointment, he reports that he has made some healthy lifestyle changes. He is eating one substantial meal per day and frequently has fruit for snacks; previously he would go days without eating. For physical activity, he walks 60 minutes daily, joins his friends hunting several times per week and drives to his cousin’s farm to spend time outdoors when he can. He finds interacting with others to be a positive distraction from his pain and mood issues. He mentioned today that he recently saw his children and the visitation went

Many people in the United State do not have an understanding on what it means to be healthy or unhealthy. Some believe that there are healthy because they are not sick. After losing my grandfather to lung cancer, I developed a passion in educating and helping people improve their lifestyles. Although, my grandfather quit smoking 10 years prior to his death, I wish preventions and intervention were enforced earlier on. My grandfather grew up in the era when smoking was cool. No one was concerned about the harmful effects of smoking. Nonetheless, there is still hope to help others. I believe that everyone has the potential to improve

The most important concept I explored in module seven are The Four Dimensions of Wellness. This concept is important, as it applies to Airmen in all positions and ranks. The four dimensions that contribute to overall human wellness are: physical, emotional, social and spiritual. It is important that you and your Airmen have a strong foundation in all areas and develop resiliency, so you can work through any issues that may degrade your overall wellness. It is important to develop in all four areas of wellness, so you are better prepared to cope with unfortunate and tragic situations.

This paper is a critical reflection of the healthy people healthy places reading material and consists of three sections. It includes the definition of terms like health inequality and how does it relates to health equity. The first section states the importance of health inequalities and the necessity for a solution to decrease the health inequality gaps. Firstly, the term health inequality has a very broad definition and can be defined as the variations in health status or in the distribution of social determinants (Anonymous, 2012). Health inequality is also described as a condition which is avoidable, unnecessary, and unjust in a community (Braveman, 2014). According to Marmot (2008), health inequalities are caused due to the differences in living conditions, especially in five main domains i.e. birth, growth, living, working and age. Another term that was introduced was health equity, which is defined as a principle that is considered as a commitment to decrease disparity and inequality in the society (Braveman, 2014).

In recent discussions of movie trailers, a controversial issue has been whether trailers present a clear theme. On the one hand, some argue that Annabelle 2 is about a child that becomes possessed and A Cure for Wellness is about a hospital that cures the ill. From this perspective, viewers only pay attention to the surface of the trailers. On the other hand, however, others argue that Annabelle 2 is about believing in Christ, and if you believe and put it in his hands, then everything will work itself out. Some also believe that A Cure for Wellness is about a hospital that experiments on the living to find a cure for the small sicknesses. In sum, then, the issue is whether, Annabelle 2 poses demon possession, or defending your faith. The issue presented with A Cure for Wellness is whether the medical facility cures the ill or experiments on people for greater purposes. Movie trailers present clear and hidden themes by the use of rhetorical devices through camera angles and soundtracks.

What health and wellness mean to me may be different than what the textbook would state health and wellness is. Health means to me the condition in which your body is, which could be poor or good health. The mind,spirit,physicality would pertain all to the state of one's body. Wellness is the consistent goal towards being in wellness meaning that one strives to be in good personal health. The book describes wellness as; “ wellness is the physical-well being , emotional-well being ,and spiritual- well being.” (Robert T. Harper) According to Merriam Webster the definition of health is “the condition of being sound in mind,body,and spirit.”(...) There is not much difference between what I perceive as health and
